- And, not to be forgotten, World Adventures is the only Expansion, Stuff Pack or Store World with a square icon, all the others (except Into The Future) have round icons. :)
https://i.imgur.com/6KTEJYR.png - I think wold adventures didnt get alot attention cause not whole lot of simmers werent playing it in let's plays. I thought it was fun. Theres still a lot of things I havent done or discovered in that expansion. I definitely say give it a shot.
- At this point, the OP would be hard-pressed to ignore the overwhelmingly positive response to their question... and I am among that response. World Adventures is an expansion I greatly endorse. The enviroments are screenshot worthy, the tombs are fun as I love having goals to complete and danger to face. I haven't even tried nectar making yet which I read here is fun. But... somebody should warn you that the expansion, as nothing is, isn't perfect. Traveling can be quite buggy, so I definitely recommend getting NRaas's Traveler extension mod as somebody else here said. (And if you're new to modding, please read a guide. Nobody wants your game crashing) And while some adventures are fun and easy to do, others are annoying fetch-quests that you can't complete because you have no idea where the item you're supposed to bring or activate is. Online guides will be useful there.
And whether this is a negative or not is up for debate (circular as it would be), but traveling with multiple Sims can be extremely expensive. Personally, I do only 2 at the most, but more is possible if your Sims can pay for it. For me, I do couples traveling together. But overall, if you're looking for something to do and you want to occasionally get away from the usual hustle and bustle of normal gameplay, World Adventures is a great addition, especially if you're against supernatural content.
EDIT: I just realized you've already bought it... agh... this is why we read threads completely before making a response. D'oh! "Karritz;c-17391268" wrote:

@Karritz - Yes, that's how it is for all of us inveterate Sims 3 nerds. :smiley: I think @JoAnne65 might belong to this group too... :)"AHolyToilet;c-17393056" wrote:

@AHolyToilet - If you don't want to use the money cheats "Kaching" and "Motherlode", you can buy the Life Time Reward "Jetsetter" for your traveling sims, it'll reduce the price with 25% according to Sims Wiki.
And if you want your sim/sims to be able to stay longer in the vacation world, there's another useful LTR called "Prepared Traveler" that adds an extra 3 days for every sim that has it.
And of course the trait "Adventurous" is the obvious choice when/if you're creating a sim who is going to become an experienced globetrotter.

Certainly do :blush: And I love World Adventures, totally worth buying. There's so much in there, too much to play with one sim in a lifetime. Plus it has great replayability value.- karritzNew Spectator

I've been playing since I picked up my preordered copy of Sims 3 in June 2009. I have lots of experience with being logical from working as an analyst programmer for years so I have set myself a logical way of doing 'everything' possible in Sims 3. I've come to the conclusion it is an impossible quest - so I had to change it to I now plan 'to do as much as I can that interests me most in the Sims 3'. My YouTube videos reflect this approach to my Sims 3 games. - I definitely think it's worth the money as it gives your Sims a nice place to go for a vacation/holiday. It's worth the money on sale, or not in my opinion.
On a slightly unrelated note I can't believe the poll is at 100% after so many votes. That's mind blowing to me lol - AlexaKryNew SpectatorOh my, I think I´ll get a lot of backlash! :o
But I don´t like WA.
I like the items wich came with it and I always use them, but I think the worlds which came with it are boooring. And I really don´t like to explore the tombs AT ALL. It´s so task oriented, do this... do that. Nope, I won´t do that, I don´t want to be told what to do!
I nearly never visit the worlds, the last time I´ve sent my newly weds to France (a real life year ago), spent a day there and was so bored that they came back home after a day.
But I think you have to buy it, because every EPs, SPs, Store Items are worth to get if you love (to play) The Sims 3! :D - karritzNew Spectator

I think it'll grow on you over time. There have been periods of a year or more when I haven't sent a sim there but each time I go back it becomes more familiar and the more I get to know it the better it becomes. I even don't like being told what to do either but I still have fun exploring those tombs. My video series, The Isla Paradiso Bunch Part 2 is all about the tomb exploration and my sims are seen completing all of the tombs. There are a few more episodes I still need to do yet as they haven't started working on the two final tombs under the Nectary in France. Some of those tombs are extraordinarily beautiful and challenging.
Here are some pics of another of my sims working her way through one of the tombs under the Nectary in France.
